Just tested after another reboot and found the following output:
ianl:/home/ianl> lsusb|grep -i paral
Bus 003 Device 008: ID 067b:2305 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2305 Parallel Port

ianl:/home/ianl> sudo usb_printerid /dev/usb/lp0

Memory fault

Add New printer does not detect any USB type printer, so again add UPI parallel:/dev/usb/lp0 but still no printing happening. Not sure what to do next - do I get another USB to Parallel cable? Is it a cable issue - do you think?
